Overcoming Issues and Challenges in Quantifying Disruption
The construction industry remains heavily reliant on manual labour, making it particularly vulnerable to productivity losses caused by disruption. Despite advances in design, coordination, and project management, inefficiencies on-site continue to erode project margins. Identifying, analyzing, and quantifying disruption—particularly loss of productivity—remains a persistent challenge.
This seminar explores established and emerging approaches to quantifying disruption, assessing their relative reliability and practical application. It also presents insights from a study of approximately 200 legal cases involving productivity loss, offering a data-driven view of how different methods are received by courts and tribunals. Key contractual and legal considerations in successfully recovering disruption-related claims will also be discussed.
